Blackstar Acoustic:Core 30 Acoustic Amplifier
The New Voice of the Singer-Songwriter
At Town Center Music, we’ve seen acoustic amplifiers evolve from bulky, boxy-sounding PA systems into sophisticated tonal hubs. The Blackstar Acoustic:Core 30 represents the pinnacle of this evolution. It isn't just an amplifier; it is a high-definition, 30-watt (2x15W) stereo solution for the modern musician. Whether you are crafting complex looper layers, livestreaming to your followers, or performing live in a local venue, the Acoustic:Core 30 ensures your audience hears every nuance of your performance with breathtaking clarity.
Designed with the "way we play today" in mind, this amp combines professional analog tone with the digital connectivity required for the modern music landscape.
Super Wide Stereo: Fill the Room, Not Just the Stage
The standout feature of the Acoustic:Core 30 is Blackstar’s proprietary Super Wide Stereo technology. Most acoustic amps are mono, which can sound directional and "small" in a larger room. By utilizing two 15-watt power amps and a specialized speaker configuration, the Acoustic:Core 30 creates an immersive 3D soundstage. When you engage the onboard stereo chorus or lush studio-quality reverb, the sound seems to emanate from all around you, providing a rich, "produced" feel that inspires better playing.
For the solo performer, this means your guitar and vocals don't fight for space. They exist in a wide, airy environment that mimics the sound of a professionally mixed studio recording—right there on your amp stand.
Dual-Channel Versatility: Guitar and Vocals Optimized
The Acoustic:Core 30 is a true two-channel powerhouse. Channel 1 is dedicated to your instrument, featuring an "Enhance" EQ preset that instantly brings out the "air" and sparkle of your acoustic guitar while taming any piezo "quack." Channel 2 is an XLR/Line combo input designed for microphones or line-level instruments.
Blackstar has included a specialized Vocal Clarity switch on the microphone channel. We’ve all been in a situation where the vocals sound muddy or get lost behind the guitar; this feature applies professional-grade EQ to ensure your voice cuts through the mix with a "hi-fi" polish. With independent reverb controls for both channels and a lush chorus for your guitar, you have a complete professional signal chain in a single, portable box.
Built for the Digital Age: Streaming and USB Recording
At Town Center Music, we know that today’s gig often happens on a screen. The Acoustic:Core 30 is uniquely equipped for the digital era with USB 4-channel audio. This allows you to use the amp as a high-quality audio interface—plug directly into your computer and record your guitar and vocals on separate tracks into your DAW. No extra interfaces or cables required.
Additionally, the TRRS Streaming jack allows you to connect a standard 3.5mm cable directly to your smartphone. This sends a high-quality, stereo-direct feed of your performance straight to Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube Live. Say goodbye to low-quality "phone mic" audio; your fans will hear exactly what you hear through the amp.
Professional Performance Features
Despite its advanced digital features, the Acoustic:Core 30 is a rugged, gig-ready piece of gear. It features a built-in tilt-back stand, ensuring your sound is directed at your ears (or your audience) rather than your feet. It also functions as a world-class set of FRFR (Full Range, Flat Response) speakers for your home; simply plug in your phone or laptop via the Line In and enjoy your favorite music in Super Wide Stereo.
For larger stages, the XLR D.I. Mix Output allows you to send your balanced mix directly to a front-of-house PA system, while still using the amp as your personal monitor. It is the ultimate bridge between a practice amp, a recording interface, and a professional gigging tool.
